How to parse timezone date

byMR

August 8, 2024

I have the following date string: 2022-03-21 00:00:00.0 CET

I tried this format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S zzz

I got: RangeError: Invalid time value

>Solution :

You can use the library "date-fns-tz".

Then you could do something like

import { utcToZonedTime } from 'date-fns-tz';
import { parse } from 'date-fns';

const currentFullDateTZ = '2022-03-21 00:00:00.0 CET';
const fullDate = currentDate.split('.')[0];
const format = 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss';

const parsedDate = parse(currentFullDateTZ, format, new Date());
const timeZone = 'CET';
const zonedDate = utcToZonedTime(parsedDate, timeZone);

So basically you first split the date and the timezone and then format the date and apply the timezone.
